Iraq war naivete loss death knowledge certainty

As the War rages on I sit here still on the same safe perch I sat on before the missiles flew and toss out words to the world. I consider myself fortunate, my only loss my belief in the indominitability of American force and our determination to do good in the world. I mind very much, however, the reasons behind that loss, all the thousands upon thousands who have lost so much more because we chose not to know all those things we could have and assumed we knew all those things we didn’t.
